Sweet Southern Living in South Lakes

If you’re searching for a new home that’s classy, luxurious, and bursting with functionality, take a tour of the model homes at South Lakes in Fuquay-Varina.

Developed by Preston Development, South Lakes combines small town charm with elegant home styles to create a beautiful community with homes by some of the most prestigious home builders in the Triangle — M/I Homes, Terramor Homes, and Chesapeake Homes.

One of our favorite parts of this home is the functionality. Not only are these homes built with classic style, they’re also well thought out for the every day hectic lifestyle. The chute in this laundry room is absolutely ideal for busy mornings, or when you don’t want an unappealing full hamper of dirty clothes taking up space in your master bedroom or closet. Simply toss the clothes down the chute, and they’ll stay hidden in the laundry room below until you’re ready to wash clothes. It’s perfect, simple, and a great addition to your home. Small things like this make your every day life a little easier. Worrying about your laundry piling up isn’t something that needs to occupy your time if you have a busy lifestyle.

Sumptious Master Bedroom

To add further to the functionality, the kitchen in this model has a long, gorgeous island that’s perfect not only for food prep, but eating at as well. And we’re not just talking about where the kids can eat – there’s enough space for the family to sit down and enjoy a meal at the island, too! It’s worth it to reserve space for an island, even if your family is small and you don’t need all that extra bar space to eat at. It’s great to have if you ever entertain guests, or if you want to lay out the meal on a surface that isn’t your dining room table. No matter how you use it, a large island is always an investment that pays off. If you’re interested in countertops that last, especially for an island (which gets lots of traffic) consider Carolina Custom Kitchen and Bath for gorgeous surfaces in the kitchen.

It’s nice to find a home that’s close to the city, but still distant enough from the hustle and bustle that you can see the stars without a glare from city lights. Fuquay-Varina is that place. South Lakes is located 35 north of Fayetteville and 15 minutes south of Raleigh, and amenities include a recreation complex with a Jr. Olympic pool, water feature, cabana, playground, and lakes for fishing, kayaking and canoeing. Coming in the future are proposed Wake County elementary and high schools within the community, which could make for a very easy school commute in the mornings.
